Pretty, plump 'Mrs. Archihal(d
Steole wrate the following para
graph in one of her letters to her
husband the other day
'John must come down here at.
once, whether yoi -an spare him
or not. Our dear ILe Laura Is
greatly taken with a tall, thin
young man, with a hooked n6%se
and thin lips, called Stuyvesant.
It is whispered about the hotel
tbat he is a very good match,-and
has the vitauie b'Ood of the old
I)utch governor in his veins. I
must say that it has a quCer wLy
of showi:ag its'lf, for the young t
ma.V isas Cal I sp)ectcr ; and
drse QClin that white duck. wah
ills sun)ken eyes and bilious sin,
is enough t., frighten one. I have
orowyn to hate him, while Laura
!S g0rowing( to be quite the Con
trary, I aml afraid. All the even
ing he lans up against the wall,
never dancing or ()cnin-g his
month, save to give vent to some
hateful. sarcastic Criticism uplon
the scenes ar'ound him, and yet
dear little Laura.'s eyes-as, in
deed, all the other pretty eyes
abo t-aic p)erp)etually beseeching
him for attention. In the day
time he is always with a long
black horse, that cover's more
ground with its logs while it. is
going than any other animal
ever~ saw. When Laur'a goes out
to drive behi.nd it, and vanishes g
out of sight with the bony ca
Iture, .1 tremble to think bow
dreadful it would be if our dear ,
little girl would ever be part and
parce'l of this wretched man and
his beast. So I think John had.
hetter come down at once.
qjuate long to see ils handsome
face and hear his honest voice,
and I think it is about time that
Sh
John should tell his little story to
Laura and have things settled
comfortably.'
Mr. Archibald Steele smiled
when he put the letter of his wife
in hLs waist-coat pocket, anid, H
picking up the mOrning paper,
scanned throughIhis gold-rimmled
spectacles tile news of the day. d
Finding nothing therein to refine

a pe.neil behind his ear, with the
general air of briskness and
shrewdness about himl that be
toke ned a successful down-town
merchant embryo. Mr. Steele
sm4i led the t.hird tUime, with) the
.ir of oneC who was not 'at ail
afraid of any bilious, blue-blooded
obstacle that might be thrown in
,the path of a domestic hnp'piness
iwhich lie firmlyv agreed had been
arranged by an Omu'ipotenlt hand.
John, sai Mr. Steele, closing
-the door of his private 0ofdee, and I
looing npon his yong clerk
Lnevolenty, ' r got an order
-om Mrs. Steele which I wish
on would attend to.'
'Certainly, sir,' said John
hall I go out and get the articles
vmself?
'X y, the fact is, John,' said
le merhtrlant, enjoying his joke
ore and more, 'it's only one
ticle-a rather bulky one. At
-as bargained for a long time
go. I think you will have to g
own with it, Jhn.'
'Down to the seashore!' said
lmh, getting a little hot and flus
3red ; 'is it a very valuable parcel:
'W ell. perhaps your natural mod
sty may depreciate its worth,
ohn. Mrs. Steele and I think n
oOd deal of it, and Laura, too, I
m slUre does. The commodity iq
ourscif, John. Mrs. Steele wants
onu to go down and take a little
oliday there.'
When the name of Laura wat
ientioned the young man's face
row more flustered and hot that
efore.
-Y:ou are very kind, sir,' he said,
mld Mrs. Steele is more like ar
nge'-l than a woman.
'Rather solid and plump foi
hat,' interposed ir. Steele, but
king the phrase nevertheless.
'Bat it is a simple madness,' pur
ued John, to dream of furtbei
appiness than I enjoy now
our affection and that of youi
;if---my position here; I don't
ate, I can't hope for anything
ire. Oh, Mr'. Steele, I can't
eli her my sto-y. She would
urn from in with horror and
version. She is so young. s'
eautiful. Let me at least enjoy
e present.'
'And in the meantime some
adave.ous, bilious, blu-blooded
'oundrel will carry her oil from
s all.'
Then John's face grow pale and
tCrn. 'If there is the slightest
eling upon her part for-for any
ne else, then, indeed, Mr. Steele,
icase is hopcoss.'
The commerciatl paper fluttered
'om his hand, the pencil fell from
is ear', and leaned his head
gainst the desk and trembled.
'Why, who would suppose you
:uld be such a co ward ?' said Mr.
teele, impetuously. 'You shall
o down with me this very day.
All the way to the seashore

'A very nasty sea,' said Mr'.
teele.
Jon.s'uffed it in, his eyes dila

A tramp on the hard, wet sand,

'.John,' said Mr. Steele, 'did you

)o your saving Laura. Did
oi see his thin, cruel lips and
r cachrous eyes ?'
'I only saw Laura, sir',' said
Later on Mr. Archibald -Steele
nd his plumlp, pretty wife were(
lone together in their private
arlor. 11cr dimpled hand lay
vingly in his, and her' shapely
cad, fresh from the hands of the
oiffeur, rested recklessly onhi
bouder.
.Suddnly the door opened, and
here was heard the rustle of silk.
n drapery. A still shaplier little
head, and fresher from the hands
fthe coiffeUrt, all unru't1mpled by
e audacious hands of mortal
CCe)ed ini at the (door, Laur'a was
>ale ; her little white hands weret
isped together and her musica
'oiec trembled.
'Oh papa, mamma, c'ome dir;ect
y ! Mi. St. nyve'san t ve ii turecd tot
hi, and-and-'
'Wm drowned?' sai Mr. Steele
w:ft a gnr comonau n m i,s
voice of pity and reli.f.
'No, o; how etn you suppose
so dreadfil a thing ? He was res
cucd, but is very weak and ill.
le has asked for me, and may I
o ? Will vou not come with me.
MaTmma ? Oh, do, I beg of you.
Can't she, papa ?'
ier blue eyes filed with tears;
her ittle foet seemed wanting to
fly througb the corridors.
Certainly not,' said Mr. Steele.
Let him wait till he is able to
come to you or ine. Either the
man was drowned or he isn't. Be
-cause he was imbecile enoucrh to
risk his life, thiat is tio reason for
Vour Oeing the talk of the hotel.'
Laura raised her eyes proudly.
'No danger of that, papa ; and
besiIes evCry one is Occupied now
with the one that rescued him.'
'Atd what madman was that?'
said poor Mr. Stecle, who could
not reconcile himself to the p-es
ont -onldition of affairs.
'I don't know-a stranger, I be
lieve. I was so interested in Mr.
Stuyvesant f forgot to ask..'
'Bah !' said Mr. Steelec, tting
uponl his feet and walking to the
door. 'I'll go ard find out all
about it. Do you stay here till I
return.'
Before he had gone far, Mr.
Steele heard from the excited
guests several different versions
of the affair; but one and all
agreed that the roscuer could be
nothing less than a champion
swimmer.
'A regular water-dog.!' said one
gentleman to Mr. Steele; and as
the merchant had heard this
epithet but once before in bis life,
and that on an occasion of vital
interest to himself, he sought out
the hero of the hour, and found,
to his unbounded astonishment,
it was John Waters himself! He
was quite enveloped in the floun
ces -and fur-belows of pretty and
sympathetic women, who insisted
upon knowing every haif second
if he was sure he felt strong and
well, and how in the world could
he buffet those dreadful waves in
that grand, heroic wvay, and how
(id he manage to drag poor Mr.
Stuyvesant in to the shore ?
John, like any other hero of the
hour, enjoyed this adulation, but
looked anxiously at Mr. Steele
when he approached.
'Hum,' growled that worthy
merhant; 'a pretty fellow, you.
to interfere with other people's
plans! How do you know he
wanted to be rescued ?'
'Hle:appeared arxious that way,
sir,' said John. 'Hei wrapped
him'self about me like a devil fish.
I thought at one time we,'d both
go down together. There ought
to be a school for teaching people
how to Lbe saved. It's the easiest
thinug in the world ; the water it
self' is.an accessory, if you manage
it righbt.'
.'Oh, do tell us ho w, Mr. Waters,
please,' chorused the pretty and
sympn~athetic women ; and as John
bgan his lcsson M~r. Steele slipped
away.
'Oh, papa,' began: Launra, 'how
is .nr. Sturvesant ?'
'I don't know--I didn't ask,' he
Ireplied. 'I vias interested in the
felow that dragged him ashore-.
ie's an old friend of ours. Tfhe
way we made his acquaintance
was on such an occasion ; he saved
a lady fr-om drowning.'
'Why, papa,' said Laura, 'he
must L.a a splendid fellow.'
'Magnificent!' said Mr. Steele.
'You see, we had traveled over
con~iderable of t he world togcet her,
your mothecr and I, while you
were yet a baby ; and we found it
Irather odd one morning to dis
coer that havingr cro5sed the
ocean and the- Alps, loitered in
the Highlands, traveled thence
down the Mississippi valley, across
the American desert to Califor
hia, and back again by another
route t. your- mother had never been
up the East river as fatr as Morris
ania. It seemedlC so aburdU to have
Inelected this home excursion,
that we determined upon it at
one The~ morning was wet, but
didn't mind it. Your mother
looked prettier in a water-proof
adrubbers, with a shovel bat
tied down under her chin, than
most women onld in a hall
Ir. vhe wt-n' a bit 'If'raidI of
rain or mnd. She w a little
too re.ckles ; for, getting ashore
to see the institution for vugrait
boys, her foot Si ppd off the
plank, aid she disappeared.'
Mr. Steele stopped a minute;
his voice faltered ; the plump lit
tie hand of his wife slipped inco
his own ; he clutched it, and Ivent
on again.
'One minute I saw her as neat
and trim a little figure as ever
graced a water-proof and shove!
hat, and the next she was gone.*
'Gone!' cried Laura. 'Gone
where?'
'Into the water, child ; inLo the
huigry green waves that surged
up to take her away from the
fondest heart in the universe ; and
if it had not been for one of those
very vngabond boys, who had been
lurking there for a chance to Cs.
cape from the island, you would
have lost us both, my dear; for I
made an agoifzed plunge after
her, though I am ashamed to Say
I cannot swim - stroke, and should
only have gone to the bottom like
a plummet of lead ; but an official
standing by caught and held mc,
and cried out that Johnny Waters
had her, safe as a trivet ; and
presently that vagabond boy came
up with your sweet noth.r on the
other side of the boat, and the of
licer cried out: 'lie's a regular
water-dog, that Johnny Waters !'
and these were the very %Tords a
guest here used in relation to John
a minute or so ago.
'Jchn!' cried poor bewildered
Laura; 'our John, mamma? Was
John the boy? And is i-t John,
our John, that saved poor Mr.
Stuyvesant ?'
'The very same darling John,
oir John ; he is always on hand
when there is any trouble or dan
ger.')
'Oh, mamma! mamma !' cried
Laura, forgetting all the years
that had passed since the accident,
and crumbling both the coiffeured
heads in the most reckless man
ner.
'Papa,' she then said, 'we must
go and find John ; I want to tell
him how much-i-'
'Yes, dear ;' said Mr. Archibald
Steele, and all the way through
the corridor and into the parlors
of the hotel, with his plump and
pretty wife on one arm and bis
beautiful daughter on the other,
he sailed.
But John was still surrounded
by the pretty and sympathetic
women, who had cruelly deserted
the blue.blooded descendant of the
old Duteh governor, lying in bis
most graceful and languid of'at
titudes on a neighboring lounge
the descendlant, not the governor
-and had flocked, one and all, to
the handsome and heroic founder
of the new school for teaching
peopleo the way to be rescued from
drowning.
John was almost i.den in floun
ces and laces ; but when his eyes
met Laura he plunged out of
those costly billows with his usual
ase and trepidity.. There was
something in Laura's eyes th.at he
ad n ever seen t hcere before-a
temptung languor, a bewit.chingi
shyness, a bewildering splendor
that steeped1 his soul in a mad,
sweet hope.
Laura stopped one moment to
whsper to her mamma, and .John
gasped out to Mr. Steele:
'If I dar'ed-if [ only dared to
tell her-'
'I have told her myself!' said
the merchant.
'Thatt 1 was a pauper, without
home or friends ?'
'I told the story in my own
way, John,' con tinued -Mr. Steele,
'and I flatter myself I told it sue
eessfully ; do not spo.il it, if you
please. I have mngdte past
a'sd the present; do you look out
fori the future, John.
And John did. Laura.walked
through the parlor that night the
envied of all the pretty and symn
pathetiC women and brave and up
preciative men that congregated
there.
Death is dreadful, but in the
sprinlgtide of yonth to he snatcheCd
forcibly from the banquet to
which the individual has just sat
down is necnliarly annilling.

FOR THE 1EIRALD.
B~Y W'.
30. 1.
31 ESHss. EarrlJons: We are fond
or reading r(iisCenes of the past,
and nleased with articles frangt with
good advice, clAculated to promote a
desire for tihe establishment of facto
ries, the building of railro2ds; in fact
everythictg leading to the advance
men', of general prosperity.
Among the useful may be denomi
nated Pisuiculture, or fish culture.
The artificial propagation of edible
fishes is practicable everywhere, and
is economical of tho material of repro
dajcLion. Not onl is it useful in fur
nishing instructive popular experi
ments in natural history, but it edu
cates a natural taste for rural pursuits,
while it undoubtedly adds to the luxu
ries of tables, and more than this in
cieases the food supplies Of the people.
Fish culture can be imprped and car
ried on at a very small expense, which
can be established by the most un
doubted proof. If, as scieutific men
assert, that fish food is a fertilizer of
the brain, then we have the best rea
sons in the world for advocating the
subject and its extension by every
available means; for who needs brains
more than the people of this Co.nty
and this State.
Centurics and centuries no fish
hatching was practiced among the an
cients. The Chinese have always kept
a supply of fish in their streams by
this process, and although they have
a dense population fish are there so
plenty and cheap th*at a penny will
buy enough fish meat to supply a.con
siderable family. The Romans and
Grecians, Persians, Egyptians reared
them in large quantities. The fish
ponds and oyster beds of Sergius
Orata, Lucul!us, Albinus and others
were stocked with the finest kind of
fish hatched out by artificial process.
It is stated that som~e of the wealthy
raised breeds of fish as our farmers
raise peculiar kinds of stock. Not
only in the countries mentioned, but
even in Africa. in barbarized Africa.
has the experiment been successfully
carried on.
The nations of Europe. as France,
England, Scotland, Ireland, G'ermany,
have taken up this artificial propaga
tion of fish and derived from jt the
most profitable advantages. Not only
individuals practice this process for
their own amusement, use or profit;
but these governments, in order to feed
their hungry subjeets with increase of
food supplies; and it has been found
of no doubtful productive v'alue.
Because we may. be a young country
in comiparison with these eid veteran
lands, wh os head are hoary with age,
and whose streams and water courses
have been seined and dragged and
altered, until recently forced to
resort to some experiment and method
by which the waste could be remedied,
is by no means a sufficient reason for
us : ' country and this State to
say its of no use-we are in the fresh
ness of y'outh, our streams and ponds
arc full of fish; they can never be
rendered tenantless. It is no such
thing; already have our streams felt
the loss of a fish population that have
either been destroyed by wilful waste

Take Broad Raiver', the Saluda. Pedee,
Santee, and i.n fact all, and we ask the
question, what has become of the shad
and the.herrings that used to run up
their currents by countless thousands ?
What has become of the trout, the
bream, the suckers, the perch, even
the voracious cat, that can live any
where ? To-day they are so scarce
that it would be difficeult for a man to
catch enough for himself, much less
for a family. If Piscicuituare has been
carried out successfully among the an
cients apd amoug the modern nations
of Europe, why cannot and why should
not we be induced "whien coming

follow in their footsteps preparatory
for the present as well as the future ?

all present, beginning with the
ladies, to w'hoi he said he wished
to pay respect, he said, addressing
Gen. Webster;
You and I are here. Our skins
are of a different color, but-God
made us both. A litle while ago, -
when I was young, I was wild
[ know nothing of the ways of
white people.
I see you have nice houses here.
I look at these beautiful rooms ;
I would like to have a house too,
.nd it may be after a while that I
can get one, but not so good a
house as this. That is what I
w.anjt to do.
For a great many years-a bun
dlred years or- more--the white
men have been driving us out;
Thbey are shrewd, sharp, and know
how to cheat; but since I have 4
been here I have found them very
different. They have all treated
me kindly, and I amn very thank
ful for it.
Hitherto vge.n we have been
wroaged we.went to war to assert
our rights and avenge our wrongs.
We took the tomahawk. We had
no law to punish those who did
wrong ; so we took our toma
hawks and went to kill. If they
had guns and could kill us first its
was the fate of war.
But ypu have found a better
way. You hare gone into court
for us, and I find that our wrongs
can be righted thero. Now that
i have no more use for the toma2
hawk, I want to lay it down for'.
ever.
[Uttering these words with elo
quent impressiveness the old
Chief, stooping down, placed the
tomahawvk on the floor at his feet
-then standing erect be folded
his arms with native digni ty and
continued:]
I lay it down; I have no more
use for' it ; 1 have found a better
way.
[Stooping again and taking up
the weapon he placed it in Mr.-~
Webster's hands and said :j
I present it to you as a token of
my gratitude. I want you to
ken it in remembrance of this
great victory which you have'
gained. I have no further use for
i t; I can no w seek the ways of
peace.
Two hundred -and fifty-seven
drinking saloons in Richmond, Vir
ginia, made return of the drinks -
sold during the month .of MIay as
registered by the Moffet liquor reg
ister. They amounted in the ag-'
g'regate to 91,913 alcoholic drinks
and 121,639 drinks of malt liquors.
A computation based on the price
charged for these drinks by the
saloon-keepers shows that if all t
sales were registered the gross're
eeipts of the saloon-keepers amount
ed only to two dollars each per-day,
The conclusions reached from this
analysis of the sales as reported is
that the registering of drinks is
largely evaded by the . saloon-keep
ers or by the bar-tenders whom
they employ.
